As you can see by my blog I'm a typical old school male, very good at sharing (not). Anyway its nice to see I have a follower, thanks Trish.
I love checking your blog, your enthauiasm is contagious.
As for your spooky sixth sense I think I have it when it comes to finding stuff on the side of the road.
Today for instance I was returning home from doing some last minute Chrissy shopping (I did walk past an op shop in Highett Rd but it was closed for Chrissy already but noted it for visiting later) so anyway I normally try to turn down a different street to get home to see if anyone has left me any presents on the nature strip. I saw a crock pot outside a house that often leaves stuff out (Do I want it? no, well maybe) so by that time I had passed it so I had to turn down another street to go around the block, noticed something accross another road so thought I should have a look, nope, no good, good pair of roller blades but my kids have all got roller blades so back to get the Crock Pot. While heading back I see a chair, side table, and vinyl guitar case so I stopped to see if it was empty or not. Well what do you know, nice Bella brand guitar in as new condition and all strings ok. Looks to be reasonable quality, made in Korea so its not top of the line or anything but I have seen much cheaper looking ones. So now its mine, well my kids cos I can't play at all.
Another couple of hours in todays temp of 34 stuffed in a black vinyl case and it would have been cactus.
I suppose people dont have time to take things to Op shops so they just leave them on the side of the road. Seems such a waste. If I only had a shed to store things in I would have lots more stuff but my wife can handle only so much junk and I only have limited hiding spots.
Then I have to get organised enough to get around to fixing them up.
I also got today a old seagrass cane chair which I just couldn't drive past. Needs a lot of work which I may never get around to doing but at least I have saved it from destruction for a bit longer. I love old cane chairs.
Hows that for a rave,,,, well now I have a follower I feel a bit obligated to have something for them to follow.
Cheers
